Mars and Venus 7th April (+ videos)

[von Tom (Tom)]

This morning's Mars and Venus after sunrise. Mars was about 18 degrees above the horizon.
All with Canon EOS 550D with 4x teleconverters at prime focus of 12" Goto Sky Watcher Dobsonian, manually tracked.

Also, here is a video of the planet rising (and that is not my crow)!:

Nice result Tom, showing the phase of Venus well. Can't see any pole caps on Mars yet. All the best.

Mars? Wow it's almost an impossible target and you got it.
It's only 7 years until 2018
